The folk that abuse it tend to be ****s that can afford it ...Common sense needs to be used. Big sign up in my doctors with a list of things he won't prescribe due to them being cheap to buy like Paracetamol etc. Can get a box of 16 for about 30p in Tescos and ****s were going to the doctors for them
You also complain about elderly people with a few bob getting free travel, don't you?

Fairer ...yes
Perfect ...probably not
However , even a rough n tough calculation would be fairer .
I want one of those but I can't see it been around when I'm eligible.
It would cost the government hundreds of £Ms to implement such a solution, it would also make people beel. How much do you reckon is spent per year on the people you don't think should claim free prescriptions? (genuine question)
Aye ...
It should be the disabled and those oaps surviving on meager state pensions
But my main gripe is dole ****s getting them..wan an a companion mate !!
60 year olds get free bus travel whether they are working or not, its ****ing nonsense. Whenever I have to use a bus (which is seldom) there are arseholes using their bus passes to travel 1 or 2 stops. ****s can't even walk 200 yards ffs.
Luxemburg have made travel free for everyone. What's wrong with folk getting free stuff?
They get free travel on trains which causes rows every day,you book a seat on a train and there's some OAP in your seat,plenty tell them to GTF and they do barely get out of the seat trick
btw you pay extra for your booking
Years of Tory government has turned ****s against each other and broken down society.
'If they get X/Y/Z and I don't, then I'm going to beel until no one gets anything'
It's ****ing disgusting.
Yes, it appears that way ...
Teh system is ****ed
Genuinely , I don't know how much but percentage wise ... Must be a good % of money spent to give scripts to people who could afford to pay .

Or throw gloves at you
As saffy says we pay a higher rate of tax in Scotland, I generally don't mind the idea of paying a wee bit extra to help people worse off than me but I don't see the logic behind giving everyone who's reached 60 free bus travel. It's a completely arbitrary number, 65 maybe or 70 but 60 ffs, it's absolutely pointless.
That's the opposite of my opinion...
I'll gladly pay for any prescriptions until I am unable to work .
And if my pensions work out , then again at that point .
60 is low,65 here which used to be the retirement age for state pension but up to 67 now.
State benefits for the poor and those in need ...
Anyone comfortable ...pay up
Anyone comfortable ...pay up
